Original Note:
"Rigging" implies illegal manipulation of electoral outcomes, a serious violation undermining democracy. Outspending on advertising, supported by Citizens United v. FEC, falls under protected free speech, provided it adheres to campaign finance laws. It's not "rigging." https://www.fec.gov/legal-resources/court-cases/citizens-united-v-fec/ https://www.fbi.gov/how-we-can-help-you/scams-and-safety/common-scams-and-crimes/election-crimes-and-security
